Hello, quite new to this whole thing. I have an old Phillips turntable and a broken flip needle that needs replacing. On the one side it has an 'ST' and on the other a '78HC3'. The turntable is a Phillips AG-4656. Any help would be much appreciated!

I would be reluctant to play any new records on such.

Can the OP please provide a picture of his unit ? While the portable unit pictured by grenadeslio might use a similar cartridge/stylus, many mono and stereo, very vintage record players by Philips can actually accommodate both mono and stereo headshell/cartridges. Their later stereo ceramics do indeed have vertical compliance built-in, which are definitely usable for stereo discs, if you can bear the tracking force. Philips ceramics are among the best sounding of their "turnover or turn-under" types....

There are several pictures on the net of the model # the OP offered, all show this portable unit. While it may operate just fine I would still be reluctant to play $35 records on this.
 
For nostalgia sake, I think it would be a great kids record player in which they could play all their Disney records on. :D

Voice of music dot com might also have something for you maybe. :dunno:
